Go ahead, try saying spice ingame. (I know which curse word the game thinks you're saying)
This started when I was at the terminal with my bro and I had a thought: "What if basil had a brother, and his name is a different spice?" but the game decided to go LOL UR CURSING I BLOCK UR MESSAGES HUEHUEHUEHUE
Forgive me for asking, but spice? Why? I'm clueless xD
The real answer why Spice is blocked is because everyone at three rings is a sandworm and doesn't want you to know it. Discussing spice is uncomfortable for them even if it isn't in the context of questioning the fact they control the universe with it.
But... but the @#$%& must flow!
"con" is blocked, no idea what it can mean
Con is blocked? Are you serious? I've said construct before. How the heck is that even censored.
Also, you know what's ironic? You can't say spice or grape, but you can say damn, ass, hell and bastard. Excuse my language. But whoever was in charge of the curse filter must have been high on something. Either that, or the game likes being full of bugs.
I'm not trying to spew obscenities or break any of the rules, but this filter needs some serious tweaking.
That's it! The one in charge of the censorship must be censoring whatever things you can get high off, while he's been high.
You guys. As already stated in the existing thread on this topic, the filtering of words like "grape" is neither intentional nor permanent. Please cease the conspiracy theories and hand-wringing. I know it's inconvenient right now, and we apologize for that.
Same thing for any string with "viol" inside. O_°
"Con" is only censored (if you don't turn off the filter)
Sorry for the trouble.
You should probably lock this thread now. I wouldn't mind.
Quotation from the Wiki article that mejezfeld linked:
News articles damaged
* In June 2008, a news site run by the American Family Association censored an Associated Press article on sprinter Tyson Gay, replacing instances of "gay" with homosexual, thus rendering his name as "Tyson Homosexual".[20]
* The word "ass" may be replaced by "butt", resulting in "clbuttic" and "buttbuttinate".[21]
BUTTBUTTinate :D :D
You can't but Terry Crews can - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7PD4f5uTOU
Why do I say Sega and not Three Rings?
I remember Phantasy Star Universe having just as confusing and senseless chat filter. Hell, they may have even directly ported that filter over for all I know.
Forgive me for asking, but spice? Why? I'm clueless xD
They don't want you to know that *gunshot*
X.X
ive had chat filters in games that filtered out words like hack/hax/hacking, moron, jesus/christ, god, noob, etc etc
ITT damn and hell aren't blocked because Bible
I think that capslocks is prevented even worse.
if ooo is sandworms then spice is (Hey, that word WILL still be filtered once we have everything sorted out. - Hyperion)
Once again, spice is completely blocked. The whole message doesn't appear. While curse words, if filtered, are simply replaced. Therefore, spice is treated differently and probably not considered a curse word or a part of a curse word, but it's more likely some sort of a bug.
Correct me, if i'm wrong.
The bug (or perhaps oversight) is that "spice" is being blocked due to a word it contains. It's not a bug that there are words that cause the whole line of text to be dropped. http://wiki.spiralknights.com/List_of_known_filtered_words
Try grape. grape does not work either.
"Bite" and "Bites" is also filtered.
"I want to @&%* my Sandwhich".
Can't blame Sega/Phantasy Star Universe for this one--Java isn't the language of choice for console development.
What's particularly funny is that, while the filter greatly resembles the Puzzle Pirates filter (minus the make-the-swear-words funny mode), the Puzzle Pirates filter allows grape/spice, etc. You'd think that OOO would have a standard filter by now (this being their third MMO written in Java), but nah...
I have my chat filters off, just did some tests. It seems, that i can use heavy curse words, but messages including spice are being blocked completely.
Correct me, if i'm wrong.
